Hi Guys & Dolls
I was just wondering if ICASA could publish a list of the frequency allocations ( on their website ) that the current mobile operators hold. So maybe I could replan the available frequencies for 2 new allocations. I am not a Base Station Engineer but i am sure i would do a dam good job of allocating available spectrum if any to New entrants. I just hope that ICASA has not given the whole 900mhz band for MTN and Vodacom to use as they please and Cell-C the 1800 mhz. Lets get some action going to introduce more operators and let MNP and cost based interconnection work for us. We are being starved of competition and also remember that some ANC heavyweights have LARGE chunks of shares in MTN & Vodacom.
Like the one listed below from the UK :
The UMTS/3G frequency allocations are as follows (to be confirmed):
1900 - 1900.3 MHz - Guard band
1900.3 - 1905.2 MHz (4.9 MHz bandwidth) - Unmatched spectrum - licence D - T-Mobile
1905.2 - 1910.1 MHz (4.9 MHz bandwidth) - Unmatched spectrum - licence E - Orange
1910.1 - 1915.0 MHz (4.9 MHz bandwidth) - Unmatched spectrum - licence C - O2
1915.0 - 1919.9 MHz (4.9 MHz bandwidth) - Unmatched spectrum - licence A - '3'
1919.9 - 1920.3 MHz - Guard band
1920.3 - 1934.9 MHz (14.6 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (mobile transmit) - licence A - '3'
1934.9 - 1944.9 MHz (10 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (mobile transmit) - licence C - O2
1944.9 - 1959.7 MHz (14.8 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (mobile transmit) - licence B - Vodafone
1959.7 - 1969.7 MHz (10 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (mobile transmit) - licence D - T-Mobile
1969.7 - 1979.7 MHz (10 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (mobile transmit) - licence E - Orange
2110 - 2110.3 MHz - Guard band
2110.3 - 2124.9 MHz (14.6 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (base station transmit) - licence A - '3'
2124.9 - 2134.9 MHz (10 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (base station transmit) - licence C - O2
2134.9 - 2149.7 MHz (14.8 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (base station transmit) - licence B - Vodafone
2149.7 - 2159.7 MHz ( 10 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (base station transmit) - licence D - T-Mobile
2159.7 - 2169.7 MHz (10 MHz bandwidth) - Matched spectrum (base station transmit) - licence E - Orange
2169.7 - 2160 MHz - Guard band
This is a list of GSM frequency allocations sent in by email:
Mobile phone transmit Base station transmit
Vodafone GSM 900: 890 - 894.6 MHz 935 - 939.6 MHz
BT Cellnet GSM 900: 894.8 - 902 MHz 939.8 - 947 MHz
Vodafone GSM 900: 902 - 910 MHz 947 - 955 MHz
BT Cellnet GSM 900: 910 - 915 MHz 955 - 960 MHz
Vodafone GSM 1800 &
BT Cellnet GSM 1800: 1710 - 1721.5 MHz 1805 - 1816.5 MHz
T Mobile GSM 1800: 1721.5 - 1751.5 MHz 1816.5 - 1846.5 MHz
Orange GSM 1800: 1751.5 - 1781.5 MHz 1846.5 - 1876.5 MHz
